Chapter 367: 210 Rescue operation concludes, dungeons open
News of Anthony’s rescue reached Dean McKenzie from Donald Morgan, even though they were far apart.
After learning that Anthony had been rescued and the situation here completely resolved.
Couldn’t contain his emotions, Dean utilized his Flight Skill and covered 1500 kilometres in under an hour to reach Thorn Oak City.
Once Dean arrived, he opened the Gate of Bone without a word, brought every skeleton and person back, and then, he used his Flight Skill to fly away directly.
The speed of his actions was so swift that even the Alliance was taken aback, let alone Donald Morgan.
His gaze towards Dean held a certain complexity.
Considering how powerful you’ve become, is there really a need to be this anxious?
In terms of combat capability as demonstrated by Dean, not many in the Alliance could rival him.
Even if there are some who could, considering the efficiency of the Alliance, it would take at least three to five days for an investigation team to arrive at Thorn Oak City. Dean was indeed being overly cautious.
Of course, it’s not a bad thing to be cautious.
Being cautious allows one to live longer.
What confused Donald Morgan was the fact that Dean, in his urgency, still had time to rob the Treasure Vault of Thorn Oak City and even take everything from Cyril Kaye’s house in the Heavenly Abyss.
This truly seemed like he was prioritizing wealth over his life.
Dean gave Donald Morgan a sidelong glance.
You don’t know anything!
Your knowledge is as short as your hair!
In this society, money is life!
“How is Anthony doing?”
Upon returning to the seaside, Dean felt a lot more relaxed and the first thing he did was check on Ennis Hawkins’s condition in the Land of Bone.
“He’s still unconscious!”
Donald Morgan responded, making room for Dean.
After more than half a year, Dean saw Anthony again.
And at this moment, Anthony had his eyes tightly shut.
Dean looked at him and cast his Appraisal Skill.
Name: Ennis Hawkins
Level: 140
Template: ???
Status: Fusion in progress
Note: The target’s soul is injured, but it seems to be gradually healing due to additional unidentified soul energy.
Estimated time for recovery is 180 days.
After seeing this attribute, Dean raised an eyebrow.
This situation seems a bit different from what he anticipated.
“Did you say that Anthony was previously controlled by someone?”
“Yes!”
“Did the invader leave a mark on Anthony before leaving?”
“Yes!”
“That guy is a good guy!”
Dean couldn’t help but nod.
“What?”
Donald Morgan was completely baffled.
Dean didn’t elaborate, his gaze watched over the unconscious Anthony: “It seems he might be in a coma for a year or so. Can I keep him here during this time?
“No, I must take him away!”
Donald Morgan shook his head without any hesitation.
“Hmm?”
Dean raised an eyebrow and cast a glance at Donald Morgan, “Are you sure?”
Although Dean’s tone was calm, it exerted a tremendous pressure on Donald Morgan, forcing him to swallow nervously.
This was because in that moment, the gaze of all the skeletons in the Land of Bone also shifted towards Donald Morgan.
The pressure on Donald Morgan was tremendous.
But even under that pressure, Donald Morgan mustered his courage and said,
“I must take Anthony with me!”
“Give me a reason!”
“That’s Anthony’s own wish!”
Donald Morgan gave a reason that Dean couldn’t refuse.
Dean was 90% sure that it was true, but he still subconsciously raised his eyebrows, “What’s the proof?”
Donald Morgan was at a loss for words; he really couldn’t come up with any proof in a short period of time.
Then a voice sounded.
“I can testify!”
“Who is this numbskull…” Dean instinctively retorted, but then he realized something was off. This was the Land of Bone. Who else could interrupt here?
The voice seemed to be coming from Anthony’s direction too.
Dean raised an eyebrow. Did Anthony wake up?
Oh no wait, this is a woman’s voice and it sounds familiar.
Mrs. Hawkins?!
Dean abruptly turned his head, and his gaze fell on Anthony.
Then, Dean saw a shining black crystal on Anthony’s chest. The voice was coming from that crystal.
“Mrs. Hawkins?”
“Yes, it’s me! Boy, didn’t expect you to become this strong in just over half a year?
If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe it!
You’ve outdone yourself, young man!”
Dean raised his eyebrow. That’s definitely her style.
But what did she just mean?
“Mrs. Hawkins, what did you just say…”
“Yes, I can testify that Anthony promised to leave with this boy a long time ago.”
The speaker paused for a moment, then turned to Donald Morgan and said, “He told me to tell you that he agreed to meet him. He knows what to do and asked you to hurry up. He’ll be coming soon!”
The way Mrs. Hawkins spoke confounded Dean. He felt as if he didn’t understand anything she said, even though he did listen to her.
Donald Morgan, on the other hand, not only understood her words, but also nodded vigorously, “Alright, as soon as I leave this place, I’ll immediately take Anthony back!”
As he spoke, Donald Morgan’s gaze fell on Dean.
He understood Mrs. Hawkins’s words, but it also needed to be comprehensible to Dean. If Dean didn’t understand and still insisted on keeping Anthony, he had no way to leave.
Just as Donald Morgan was looking at Dean, Mrs. Hawkins’s voice sounded again from the black crystal.
“Boy, I know you’re confused, but don’t be. The situation is pretty complicated right now, and I can’t explain it to you in just a few words. I’ll explain it to you in detail later..
